Owners of the Nissan Leaf and some other electric vehicles may get charged up about this: Starting in May, seven Spinx stations across South Carolina, including one in the Upstate, will open electric charging stations.
On May 3, Spinx, will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating their new Level 3 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, including at the station on Marue Drive in Greenville. A Nissan Leaf, an electric car that can drive about 100 miles per charge, will demonstrate the EV charger as part of a partnership between the gas station and car manufacturer. Nissan’s “No Charge to Charge” program is offering eligible Nissan Leaf owners 24 months of free public charging at the new Level 3 Spinx stations. All E-vehicles are able to use the new stations provided the vehicle-specific charging port is in use. The new high-speed EV chargers will cut down charging time by more than 50 percent. Once the introductory program expires, the cost to charge your care will be $5.95 for a 20-minute charge.
